1. A charging management device managing charging of a battery of a vehicle, the charging management device comprising: at least one processor; at least one memory that stores computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations; a communication device configured to communicate with a server; and a power receiving device configured to receive power wirelessly, wherein the operations include: searching for a vehicle traveling route at least based on a destination of the vehicle; identifying one or more wireless charging station that is charge-available while the vehicle is at a standstill based on the vehicle traveling route; determining whether the vehicle is stopped at a location of one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station, and whether the location of the one or more chargeable position has a power transmission rate equal to or greater than a reference value; and receiving power from the one or more wireless charging station when the vehicle is located in the one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station based on determination that the power transmission rate is equal to or greater than the reference value.
2. The charging management device of claim 1, wherein a list of the one or more wireless charging station that is charge-available is received from the server in response to transmitting the vehicle traveling route to the server.
3. The charging management device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include: determining an amount of charge required for charging the battery; and transmitting the amount of charge required for charging the battery to the server.
4. The charging management device of claim 3, wherein the operations further include: updating, when power is received from the one or more wireless charging station, the amount of charge required for charging the battery based on the received power: and transmitting the updated amount of charge to the server.
5. The charging management device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include: calculating an estimated arrival time to the one or more wireless charging station; and transmitting the calculated estimated arrival time to the server.
6. The charging management device of claim 1, wherein the operations further include transmitting a location of the vehicle to the server relative to the vehicle traveling route.
7. The charging management device of claim 1, wherein the one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station is located adjacent an intersection of a road.
8. A method for managing charging of a battery of a vehicle, the method comprising: searching for a vehicle traveling route at least based on a destination of the vehicle; identifying one or more wireless charging station that is charge-available while the vehicle is at a standstill based on the vehicle traveling route; determining whether the vehicle is stopped at a location of one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station, and whether the location of the one or more chargeable position has a power transmission rate equal to or greater than a reference value; and receiving power from the one or more wireless charging station when the vehicle is located in the one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station based on determination that the power transmission rate is equal to or greater than the reference value.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: transmitting the vehicle traveling route to the server; and receiving a list of the one or more wireless charging station that is charge-available from the server.
10. The method of claim 8, further comprising: determining an amount of charge required for charging the battery; and transmitting the amount of charge required for charging the battery to the server.
11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: updating, when power is received from the one or more wireless charging station, the amount of charge required for charging the battery based on the received power; and transmitting the updated amount of charge to the server.
12. The method of claim 8, further comprising: calculating an estimated arrival time to the one or more wireless charging station; and transmitting the calculated estimated arrival time to the server.
13. The method of claim 8, further comprising: transmitting a location of the vehicle to the server relative to the vehicle traveling route.
14. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more chargeable position of the one or more wireless charging station is located adjacent an intersection of a road.
